(Episode 687) An unexpected crisis in the house LOL

[anemoiawithatouchofobsession]

Go Hun Jung was on Yoo Quiz and MY GOD she pressed all the tear buttons in me. I really really wish her all the damn best. She's suffered enough until now. She cleared up a lot of misunderstandings (and yes, she mentioned that she does not see her kids nor does she meet with them often, and she really says she is thinking about seriously, properly coming back to the industry).

some thoughts abt teuk n sora

because i enjoyed being exposed to an overwhelming amount of sugar and dimples, apparently

watched the episodes a few years ago but my korean wasn't that good yet so i didn't really get into them

but these days my korean got better! so i know the gist of what they're doing, what's going on, what are they saying to flirt with each other etc. i ended up watching their cinema meeting part #1-#10 without realizing it and was so pleased at understanding 70% of their awkwardness!

i saw "sunny" but i didn't know it was sora! the more you get into hallyu i guess…

i was thinking that sora had such an innocent and youthful look about her, then i look her up and was like… oh it's a seven year gap! the only other i've seen having that much gap is between choi minyong and jang doyeon (8 years) which we'll talk about those two in another post!!

well that gap didn't matter either as leader teuk was so flustered around her 70% of the time lol

rising cheekbones and red ears galore!

their piano performance exchange

the stolen glances during their early courtship in 2011 omalord

teuk: crashing her drama shooting and her flight because why not

man i don't know if i'll ever date irl, but i learned a lot (and mayhaps lives) through these episodes

HAND HOLDS

sora carrying around a big bag for her events (us girls being overpackers, i relate, even tho hers is for a show)

the way she just have a bundle of stuff prepared for him

when they went to his school and the students were like "you wanna kiss each other right?" had the two on gunpoint i swear

back to eye contact, even up to their trip to nami island leeteuk still had a hard time meeting her gaze if she's before him, protect this gentle man

and the special christmas episode, when he just sends her a comforting message by flipping his board nonchalantly AAAAKFJKFJAL SIR????

"he/she wasn't my type but became my type" lawd

AND WHEN SHE GAVE HIM A SOFT "please hurry back" INSTEAD OF AEGYO AKDSAFSASLFK

also when he had to find her hand blindfolded UGAgAIIAD

telling her to just shove the jjajjangmyeon quick to his mouth coz it's yeneung! it's variety! we gotta win! lol the entertainer soul aint leaving him.

sora packing sujus lunch after SS4 concert and gave teuk a medley show with his suit

oohohohoho speaking about that episode, the doryeonims kkKAJDLA

"appearing when it's awkward, we're Fighting, JuniORS!" aka teuk's annoying lil brothers sung-eun-hae-kyu

(tho sungmin was the bane of their existence TT)

ohOOOOO hyEONGsuniiIIM

sora asking them to take care of teuk and them succeding barely

thank you for introducing me to "superman" tho, it was a good song

OH the house and furniture purchasing stuff was also fun!!

[not at me liking the vid to refer to how to rent a house in korea by leeteuk]

ESPECIALLY when they had that drunken agassi and police detective roleplay

like sora was so goOOD what an actress, like the aegyo, ma'am?? i was taking notes! you got the man weak in the knees!!

the caption pointing to leeteuk was like "weak for (when called) 'oppa'" GAKSDJSLDK

sora was like "oh detective, i see no one but you! all the things in my life culminated into our meeting!"

THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE THING HE ALSO WOULDN'T EVEN MEET HER EYES I CANNOT--

they also adopted four nemo fishies

[apparently they call donghae nemo in Korea???...why is jeno a samoyed and he a fish….?]

OHOHO they also went to everland! and became donghae's hype guy n hype girl for his date! and just ducks around the store trying not to get seen! and sora threw donghae her purse coz, man, really?? unprepared for a date??

ANd SORA's SHOE ACCIDENTALY FLEW OFF HER FOOT I CACKLED SO HARD leeteuk had to retrieve it during their hide-and-seek effort?

she was a little clumsy then. somehow i think if she did actually became suju's in-law she'll be just fine with that energy

'then' because there's this compilation clip of teuksora "meeting" for 2017's(?) golden disk, and man...

their glow up in that late 3rd gen-early 4th gen's styling?? sora's voice got deeper and she was so ladylike and beautiful and elegant and leader teuk just rocked that sakura (grapefruit?) hair but was still the wild suju's leader lol AGHH my heart

anyway back to 2011-2012 in the next post coz wow I ranted a lot

불튀 from Kang's Kitchen 3 - Spicy Tteokbokki of your dreams

[melting-morning-blues]

random thought but one of my fav things while watching korean idol variety shows is when idols call their mothers or grandmothers when making traditional food/snacks (i see this most when they’re making kimchi) and idk,, it’s a very tender and warm sight. the way their tone changes into something more familiar and lighthearted when their family member picks up the call and the way their family members are so readily available to help them. it’s those rare moments of familial love and sincerity that stick with me.

BAHAHAHHAHA they made the producer wash dishes on the last dayyyy i can't with them lmaooo

Choi Woosik in Jinny’s Kitchen Season 2, Episode 2 

[bieups]

This remains my favorite Korean variety (?) show and if you've never seen it, go watch this stream! (If it's not available outside Korea or you need English subs, it should be on the free streaming sites~)

It's called 크라임씬 (Crime Scene) and there are 3 seasons (2014~2017). The main cast + guest are assigned characters and do a murder mystery game. They have to search the crime scene for clues, then discuss & interrogate each other to determine who the murderer is. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes they don't. It's a blast

A new version is coming out next year called 크라임씬 리턴즈/Crime Scene Returns and I'm very excited~

(Episode 670) My thoughts exactly when they walked down that corridor lmao

[anemoiawithatouchofobsession]

meme of the day

Idek how to explain this except search for any, AMY video of her on a variety show in recent times. Radio Star, Happy Together... literally effing anything.

I find it kinda funny and sad at the same time - on one hand, it makes Choi Min Soo The Public Figure a little more accessible and nice, so to say. Considering he's gotten his rowdy self into a lot of trouble in the earlier part of this century, it helps to kinda soften down his reputation as a real life gangster.

On the other hand... Aunty June does so much outside of that and is so much more of a person outside of just being Choi Min Soo's wife. She has a mind and a life and a job and activities of her own and she surely has a lot to say about that too... and its just so obvious that she's being actively reduced to nothing but her husband (and I'm really trying to change that in my eyes). She is on the Korean Board Of Education, all kinds of forums and trade delegations between Canada and Korea, has a homeshopping broadcast, all that and more. Like I genuinely don't even know what else because it's just so damn much... and yet, all that matters to broadcast stations are stories about her mans.

It's bad enough for her, and even worse for some other actresses that also married actors, like Ha Hee Ra or So Yu Jin. They literally get stripped of their identities in favour of that of their husband's wives. And it sucks.
